Davy was too old for make-believe. Then he met Jacks.
A fictionalised exploration of the childhood of CS Lewis.
Davy, a working-class boy living in East Belfast in 1908, is sent to work at the wealthy Lewis household. When he meets Jacks – the name by which CS Lewis was known to friends and family – Davy is captivated by his friend’s world of books and stories. Together the boys plunge into imagining and adventuring, and Davy discovers his own artistic talent. But when Davy is offered a job at the shipyard, and Jacks’s mother falls gravely ill, their wondrous days of make-believe seem numbered. Will they lose their extraordinary shared world forever?
The 39-Storey Treehouse in colour is the third book in the bestselling Treehouse series by Andy Griffith's and Terry Denton. This laugh-out-loud story is told through a combination of text and fantastic cartoon-style illustrations - all now in full colour! Perfect for fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs. Monkey.
Andy and Terry's amazing treehouse has thirteen new levels (it used to be 13 storeys, then 26, but they keep expanding!)
They've added a chocolate waterfall you can swim in, a volcano for toasting marshmallows, a bulldozer-battling level, a baby-dinosaur-petting zoo, a not-very-merry merry-go-round, a boxing elephant called the Trunkinator, an X-ray room, a disco with light-up dance floor, the world's scariest roller coaster and a top-secret thirty-ninth level which hasn't even been finished yet!
And this year Terry has created the greatest invention that he – or anyone else – has ever invented . . . a Once-upon-a-time machine that will write and illustrate their entire book for them!
Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!
